Colbert: Crossing Anonymous Is Like Sticking Your Penis In a Hornets’ Nest

Colbert: Crossing Anonymous Is Like Sticking Your Penis In a Hornets’ Nest

Adrian Chen —
Anonymous has attracted plenty of attention from all sorts of news organizations; but their recent pro-Wikileaks hack attacks have finally landed them on the most important show in all of television: "The Colbert Report." Colbert dug into the twisted saga of Anonymous vs. the security firm HBgary, which ended with HBGary employees' inboxes spilled all over the web. Colbert at his geekiest, and good press for Anonymous—here's a rare mainstream outlet portraying them in almost heroic light, compared with usual darkness.
Literally cannot wait until Glenn Beck discovers Anonymous.


CLICK TITLE FOR VIDEO.

Fucking hilarious.

MAJOR EDIT.

Per the reddit link posted by Anonymous below, this clip took place while Colbert interviewed Glen Greenwald about all of the HBGary stuff (Greenwald was very favorable about anon).

I'm a bit freaked out by its awesomeness, however, cannot confirm it yet. Need to find the Greenwald interview portion. I'll let you look for yourself, but watch the 4th second carefully.

FINAL EDIT (?)
The whole episode does not appear to be online yet. However, I can confirm this as I forgot until a few moments ago that I dvr colbert every night (yes, I'm stoned, fuckers). Just replayed it and it occurs during the portion of the Greenwald interview while Greenwald responds to Colbert asking "how afraid...how powerful is anonymous".

when Glen beck Discovers Anonymous, its going to be epic

Cobert <3 Anon

Can he please soon? someone should tip him off.

Epic Lulz

I believe that Colbert was correct in his statement, " Crossing Anonymous is like sticking your penis in a hornet's nest"!

So how much did we have to give to Colbert for this?

They ruined both his lives. Delicious.

This wasn't half of it, btw, there is at least the Greenwald interview, extremely pro anon.

Nice.

O NOEZ, Beck might have to bring out The Chalkboard for that one.

You all can thank me for this. I'm one of Colbert's writers.

fify

Did anonymous just get the Colbert bump?

Howlingly funny! Like sticking your penis in a hornets nest! Wish Tush Limburger would or Bill OLieLy

Thats another WIN for anonymous!

OP updated again. I'm confirming it. Have it on DVR.

At least someone can spell 'Colbert' correctly. Right, back to read the OP.

Right, like Colbert has never crossed swords with anonymous before. Although this brings a new dimension.

GAWKER is sooo epic.

Love it.

Also, Colbert got Huckabee to agree that Obama is not a Muslim and that the Tea Party is not really Paul-esque fiscal conservatives, but are in fact traditional christian social conservatives in fiscal conservative's clothing.

a new take on the term 'hive mind'

I'd post that Colbert IS Anonymous, but then he wouldn't be Anonymous anymore. Colbert has sent us love since the beginning and has left plenty of "messages" along the way that he's paying attention to what we do.

Bump for great justice and lulz.

Hive mind lol

<3!

Colbert is de-lish!

And Andrian Chen should know...

I love Colbert!
